Next generation Roewe 750 naked at last
The next generation Roewe 750 isn’t due to be unveiled until the 2012 Beijing Auto Show in April, but by the power of our friends at Auto Sohu, spy pictures of the car have already been revealed:
The 750 rides on the Epsilon II platform which is also underpinning the Buick Regal and Buick Lacrosse and comes courtesy of GM, SAIC’s partner in crime in the Chinese market. However, the new 750 wont be called the 750, its name will be changed to the R95 which tells us two things: Either the new 750 is not actually the new 750 at all and will sit above the 750, or the old 750 will continue production whilst the newer R95 is introduced, the older version appealing to government fleet buyers. We’ve also learned this car will be sold under the resurrected Shanghai brand which SAIC plans to bring back after a twenty year hiatus from Chinese roads.
Engine power will come in three forms: 2.0L, 2.4L and of course 3.0L V6, no turbo units as of yet but we expect that will change down the line.

Interesting. I wonder if there will be an MG9 version as a flagship for the exported MG brand?
The new naming system suggests we will see R75, R55, R35 and maybe R25 and R15 nomenclature for the rest of the range
